Explanation:

the only reason you would need help with this is, if you don't understand what exponents are and how they work.

because once you understand that, you can do the whole question in 30 seconds yourself. way faster than the posting here and then copying answers back into your system.

so, let me explain this important element :

when you have something like 5³, then this 3 is the exponent, and the 5 is the base.

when we talk about such a thing we typically say "5 to the power of 3".

now what did it mean ?

well, it is a multiplication. a multiplication of the base by itself (like when we square a number).

and the exponent tells is how often the base is multiplied by itself.

so, back to my example :

5³ = 5×5×5

3² = 3×3

13⁴ = 13×13×13×13

once you understand that, you can solve the question yourself in seconds.

e.g. the first is looking for the equivalent of 7⁴.

we need to find the answer option that dissolves this like the examples above to 7×7×7×7.

and we find B to be the right answer.

for 3⁶ = 3×3×3×3×3×3

and E is right. and so on.
